Book Description

ADVENTURE STORIES. 'The boy looks about seven or eight years old and should weigh next to nothing. And yet it takes four men to drag him out of the water. We soon realise why. Padlocked around his ankle is a thick metal chain, which plummets right down to the sea's bottom. If we want to save him, we have to pull up the chain. And whatever is at the end of it.' Pyrate ship The Tenacity has taken on a drowning boy with a lead box chained to his ankle. What could be precious enough to keep in a box with a human buoy? Whatever it is, those who have lost it will come after it. Silas, pyrate's boy on The Tenacity, recounts his adventures -- every fall from the rigging, every escape from an erupting island volcano, every navigation through coral reefs, every encounter with a knife-wielding, cartwheeling girl -- as he and the crew and Captain Jon Harkin, aka Black Johnnie, outwit their pursuers. Ages 9+

The lives of the most famous pirates of this era are depicted in the book: Charles Vane, Thomas Barrow (who declared himself "Governor of New Providence"), Benjamin Hornigold, Calico Jack Rackham, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, and the infamous Edward Teach, better known as "Blackbeard"._x000D_ Contents:_x000D_ Contents:_x000D_ The King of Pirates: Of Captain Avery, And his Crew_x000D_ Of Captain Martel, And his Crew_x000D_ Of Captain Teach, alias Black-beard_x000D_ Of Major Stede Bonnet, And his Crew_x000D_ Of Captain Edward England, And his Crew_x000D_ Of Captain Charles Vane, And his Crew_x000D_ Of Captain John Rackam, And his Crew_x000D_ The Life of Mary Read, And Anne Bonny_x000D_ Of Captain Howel Davis, And his Crew_x000D_ Of Captain Bartho.
